Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I've made a couple of forays into No Man's Land, but I think my usual "lalala let's all be happy and sensible" attitude won't make a dent.
I'm C&Ping this anonymously because I agree with it (I think a LOT of people agree with it).
Dudes, we're Buffistas. This is not how we do things.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
And disagreeing with me again isn't going to stop me either. IJS.
So, this is the Beat Everyone To Death With Your Plan Until They Agree? Very uncool.
I can see I'm in the super-minority on this issue, (except for about 400 lurkers who secretly agree with me).
Really? I'd like to hear from them.

Just re-posting this because it made me SO happy:

This long time lurker does not agree and thinks representation is the last thing this wonderful place needs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hi Maggie! Hooray for de-lurking!
FTR, I too am against having representatives or whatever.

Er in fairness to Wolfram, the "400 lurkers who agree with me" thing was a joke on his part. I'm pretty sure it was a riff on a joke that started in another thread, but I can't remember which.

This statement pisses me off. Not because I think you're necessarilly wrong, but because it is, by definition, unprovable. "The will of the people," indeed!
Alas poor Sarcasm, I knew him well.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

FWIW, I don't think the lurkers comment was meant to be taken seriously.
Doblerize folks!

Okay Steph, don't think I went quite that far. It seemed more like BEAT THE ONE PERSON WHO DARED DISAGREE WITH THE GROUP UNTIL HE CRIED LIKE A LITTLE GIRL plan. Which is cool in some contexts.
